Welcome to the baboon butt club. Been there done that. Not fun. :confused: Mine was about 17 miles into the 2014 N24HC. I continued on for a total of around 164 miles until my right shifter loosened up on me and decided to call it after fighting with trying to repair it for an hour or two.

I need a double Like button :D

I finally drilled a small hole in the webbing on my Vendetta v2 to clean up the routing line a bit more. This hole was added on later models but wasn't on mine.

You should try it. The bike is much more comfortable and easier to handle using clipless pedals. Just remember to unclip when you stop. :D

Get Tanya one of the new Macbooks... That will fit. ;)

Fun read. Lot of miles in a short period of time. I'm impressed and it sounds like you had a blast. -Eric

Still running with just the velcro. No problems but it hasn't gotten as wet as Gary's. -Eric

You're a very lucky man. Jim and Maria found a way to get my original boom unstuck which was really quite simple if somewhat crude. He provided me a video that is absolutely hilarious but I will need to defer to Jim to share it or not. I will say it took an absurd amount of force to dislodge mine...

Channeling Charles Plager.... Video or it didn't happen. :rolleyes:

Heh, Maria has well over 3,000 miles on hers. :D

Described MSRP - ouch! After a wash out and it gets scraped up or broken - many very uncouth utterances along with many ouches! Miscellaneous musings: Reminds me of my Topeak DynaPack DX a little bit. Topeak uses compression molded foam and coated polyester. Not as sexy (or expensive) as...

Actually it is a lot easier to grab a bottle behind the headrest than from behind the seatback.

Cool report. Love the grin!

Great job Joseph! How did you like that little hill on the 7 mile loop? :eek: The rollers on the 24 mile loop are my favorite.

Here is my ride data for those who are interested (or bored although comparing the two is kind of interesting...): 1 hour TT - Strada: http://ridewithgps.com/trips/5126094 1 hour TT - Vendetta: http://ridewithgps.com/trips/5126102 Hill Climb - Vendetta (forgot to capture the Strada)...

Larry, you left my other hill climb out... Me + velomobile is approx 262 pounds. Me + Vendetta is approx 215 pounds. Aero rules but I feel that extra 47 pounds, especially going up hill....

Yeah, sometime in early September I think out on the road. About 10-20 minutes the day before when I took it off the KICKR so yes, Waterford was really the first time back on two wheels in almost 10 months. Winter hit early last year with snow that stayed and never really went away. Prior years...

Headrest on both the Vendetta and Strada. Sandals are Nashbar Ragster II - which I really like.

They've done a nice job with the HTML 5 version this year: http://www.tractalis.com/live/raam2015/html5/ On my mac using Chrome the regular link is using Silverlight (which I didn't feel like installing): http://www.tractalis.com/live/raam2015/

How about in this one? Larry Oslund and I are about the same height but Larry is a lot skinnier than me.. This is one of the photos Don Rose took: https://flic.kr/p/uC4hoF
